JMO but I think time is somehow fluid, I can't really explain it better but I think that's the only way it could all work.
Thoughts on that concept anyone?

Time moves in circles like a wheel. That's why you can see someone from your past but it's not like before; you've moved on. You're in different spectra of time.

seen spirits since I was two just recently found who they are mostly native American spirit some are long ago relations mostly protection and to let me see with going to happen once I was shown smoke and flames 2days later someone try to set one of my bestfriends house on fire was able to warn him get him away able tostop this from happening

I'm Irish, so I know strange things happen. The best answer I ever heard about the subject was from an old Irish guy in the pub (where else?) When a reporter asked him: 'yes, but do you believe in the Shi?(loosely; fairy folk)
The old guy thought for a while and said: 'No.........but then, I don't suppose they believe in me much either.'

Grew up in a house with a ghost and have had several experiences with ghosts, in different places that I lived, throughout the years. It would take a while to tell some of the stories and they were both in Michigan and Ohio.

Perhaps I'm lucky, but the sort of strange things discussed here have never happened to me. There has always been a simple explanation to things that at first seem a little odd.

Is this unexplained presence still making itself known, does it scare or worry you? Please tell me more. <|;°}

My family has been dogged by hauntings and strange phenomena since before I was born and still is.

why do you think this evil is attached to your family?

Y'know, I can claim the same thing.

Frankly, I would be thrilled to experience a ghost or haunting.
I have a billion questions for the ghost.

Rather simple questions, really.
Like:

How does a ghost stay in one place on a planet that not only rotates but moves thru space and time? What keeps the ghost in this house? At this location within the house night after night after night?
I know what might keep me in place but a ghost that floats in the air, can walk thru walls and manifest at will is not governed by the laws of physics which govern mass. So, how does the ghost stay in place on the Earth as it moves?

But wait...there's more:

How can a ghost make noise? Noise is a vibration in a medium at a frequency the human ear can detect. This means, something has to transmit thru the air, a vibration which causes a frequency that works against the ear drum.
If ghosts are ethereal how can they affect the matter which is air?

You also have the timing of encounters.
How does a ghost know if it is day or night?
If the haunting is at 2:13 am and is always 2:13 am does the ghost reset for daylight savings time?

Then you have the big question.
Why does the ghost appear for some people but not everyone?
Do ghosts have a selection pointer which only applies to certain people?
How do I get my name added to this selection?
Do I have to fill out a form, in triplicate?

How do ghosts cause cold spots or hot spots?
Do they suddenly have power to influence the temperature of air?
Do they have to go to ghost school to learn how to do it?

What is the attribute that allows someone to sense ghosts?
Is there a special sensitivity training one can go thru so they can experience a haunting?

Can a ghost in Mississippi haunt someone living in New York?
Is there a limit to the distance of a ghost?
Why? Why not?
What are the parameters needed for a good haunting?

How come ghosts don't have pet goldfish ghosts?
If they did, would the goldfish ghosts be in a ghostly goldfish bowl?
Do ghost goldfish need a fish bowl?

Do Aliens believe in ghosts?
Do Ghosts believe in Aliens?
Does bigfoot believe in ghosts?
Does Nessie believe in Aliens?
Do Chupacabra believe in ghosts?
Do ghosts believe in the mothman?

Do ghosts go to the bathroom?
If ghosts have sex do they have boo babies?
Is there an ectoplasm form of coffee for the morning ghosts?
Why don't ghosts in the street follow you home?
Ghosts don't like Walmart. Even poltergiest won't go there.
I have heard about ghost dogs but never a ghost walrus.
Has anyone ever seen a blind ghost with a ghost cane?

I think that "evil" is too strong a word to describe the sporadic and odd events that still happen now and again. In my case, now it's often objects that go missing, only to turn up where they should have been, days or weeks later. Even the haunting I and two of my older brothers experienced as children, whilst initially alarming, was never threatening. It consisted of laboured breathing coming up the stairs, crossing the bedroom and then the sound simply ending. This happened off and on for two or three years and then stopped. As for why these events happened, it's impossible to say, except perhaps that both Ireland and Britain are known for such peculiar events, so they are more common than most would think. Certainly, nothing that I've experienced was as frightening as Catholic Iconography of my youth such as the Sacred Heart pictures etc.

All good questions Perhaps you should ask a paranormal investigator? I'm sure they must have considered many of these same questions.

Have you ever thought of getting someone in? It could be related to some family Karma, some event from a long time ago. This can be past life, can also be from this one.
I've dealt with a lot of chit in my life, and I must admit I was also drawn to the paranormal. Until after my divorce I discovered I myself had gifts and could do things.
As I was developing those gifts, and was still a noob, hihi, I lived in a house with loads of nasty entities. Not handy.
I was told that I needed to shield myself as I was like a light in the dark, attracting lots of moths.
Ever since I developed my skills, and also learned to shield and ground, have a strong healthy aura, grew in my inner strength and so on, I am free of that crap.
I've also decided to steer clear from it. I want nothing to do with it as I am still somehow prone to dragging it home with me and then I have to cleanse my home and my aura again which I don't fancy doing.
But at least I have the baws now to do that kind of thing myself while in the past I was just scared.

Why am I telling this... because it can also be some kind of wake-up call to you having skills that you don't develop. So it keeps nagging you until you do.
In any case, I'd get someone in. Then you get answers to the 'why' of it happening to your family.
I doubt it has much to do with Britain and Ireland. That sort of thing is everywhere. There's just a reason why you and your family are harassed by it. And I'm quite sure that even if you moved to e.g. the Netherlands you'd still experience it.
It can be a curse too btw. Been there... Such things can continue for generations, believe it or not. But they can be lifted, then everyone is free.

hahaha true, man has a habit of making the idea of God to be one of horror lol

but i was raised in a family of Believers, and i also am of Irish decent (McGlynn last name), and for the better much of my life it seemed from Indiana to Arizona, from being single to married to divorced, i have witnessed the unthinkable, the alarming, the unnatural, the unexplainable.



ill just touch on something that never left my mind nor ever will.


when we first moved to Mesa, Az we had to rent. it was my wife, 3 sons, my Father, and myself.

we found a home 2 homes away from my Cousin's home and took it.





when we pay money and take home possession, the landlady said, she was a high priestess and thought this home was evil and had it feng shui. we just rolled our eyes and said whatever.


within a week we saw things from objects falling onto the ground, my son was trapped in a closet i had to remove from the hinges because somehow the knob froze and would not turn so we could open the door to release him (he claimed a boy (dead) had woke him up to play and they were in the closet when he realized he was stuck inside), the cabinet doors and stove door just flew open and the one time cause my rottie to drop his lunch right there from being scared.

but the highlight before we left was the Monsoon incident.

from the mailbox by the street, and the running sidewalk in front of it, led a small walkway to our front door. and by the front door was this bigger than needed window just waiting for rotts and obes to bust through.

anyways, the storm was a brewing pretty good when my wife and i heard my Dad yell, "in Jesus Name!!"

then he yells for me and i come running and he is standing in front of this too big of a window looking out. and i go to the window and when i look out, it appears to be this person of somewhere around 10 feet tall or taller walking towards the front door. and the pouring rains were just being unloaded from the skies.

anyways, my Dad and i began rebuking this thing because who is 10 fall today and human?

suddenly, this thing just takes off as fast as it can for the next 10 steps and you can hear the front door not just take this blow, but it felt like the foundations of the home and its walls were just shaking.

i looked at my Dad as we both were heading to the front door and he grabbed my hand as we continued praying. we were at the door and i said, i'm opening it. and when i did, and we looked to find this tall creature, it was no more.

but what was left, was this old fashioned typing paper that you would tear the seam along the edges. and now it's my wife and Dad and myself picking up what must be 10 boxes worth of this old fashion typing paper.

now remind you, it is pouring rain in a Monsoon out there, myself and wife and Dad are getting drenched, but this paper that has been sitting directly in the rain fall itself, never had a single wet spot on any of that paper.

anyways, we get this paper into the home and realize on both sides of every sheet, page after page, were names listed all down along the left side margin. my Father told my wife to start up the fireplace. she did and it not soon until she had nice cozy fire going. then my Dad ordered us to gather this paper and toss it into the fire and burn it. so we did.

when suddenly, you could literally hear like it was many people at once screaming, do not burn us, we have already been burning since our death!!

of course, this led to full prayer, rebuking, binding, and making sure every single last paper was destroyed by fire.




did we get a list of names of people already burning in hell?
don't know!!
but i can still hear them screaming in such horror and yelling about they have been burning since death, so don't burn us any more!!

That sounds truly horrific. I'm glad I've only ever experienced minor events.

Maybe I could join a ghost hunter group in the hope of asking Tom's questions if I ever see one!

From this and other threads I am coming to the conclusion that if you believe in something you will see evidence of that which you believe in, but if you don't believe in something you won't find any evidence of it.

Unfortunately, I don't believe in ghosts.

Oh, you will be affected by it. You just won't understand why certain things are happening and going wrong.
How things can manifest with negative energies / entities: lots and lots of conflict and arguments in a home, people moving out of a house easily as they subconsciously won't feel good there, people getting ill, divorce and so on.

This is usually called confirmation bias, where someone chooses what they consider to be "evidence" in accord with what they already believe to be the case and disregard everything else which contradicts this. Unfortunately, belief or disbelief is often irrelevant in certain circumstances as the effects on people's lives can be all too real. And we're not talking mental health problems either, although these can present with many odd delusions.

It's all in what you choose to believe in. Some believe and some do not. I have been ghost hunting for over 15 years and I have some pretty solid evidence in photos and especially videos on my Kinect camera where they appear as stick figures. I've been touched, scratched before and I have yet to encounter something evil. I try to debunk something before I say it is paranormal. But with all the evidence I have there are still going to be those who will say it is not real. More power to them if that is what they choose to believe. If they have not experienced any kind of proof they probably will not believe.
